Radius Indiana announces dates for 2023 economic development course

Sessions will cover population attraction, business retention and community development

Southern Indiana Business Report

BEDFORD – Radius Indiana will have its sixth annual Economic Development for Community Leaders conference at the French Lick Resort Conference Center April 25-27.

Attendees at the two-and-a-half-day course will participate in educational sessions on topics including real estate development, population attraction programs, business retention and attraction, workforce, marketing, business finance and incentives, and community development and business district revitalization. 

Speakers from state agencies, site selection companies, secondary education institutions, and financial firms will share best practices and offer perspectives on local and regional economic strategies. The course is open to local and state officials who are interested in learning more about economic development.  

“The field of economic development is changing and growing as communities seek different forms of growth,” said Jeff Quyle, Radius Indiana president and CEO. “Our program gives information about many of the classic elements of economic development as well as introduces community leaders to the new concepts that economic development now encompasses.”

The format of this year’s event will offer attendees the opportunity to choose between session topics for parts of the conference to create a more personalized experience. Communities should consider sending more than one representative to attend in order to gain information on all the relevant topics that will be covered. 

Radius plans to make several scholarships available from its office as well as area utility partners for community members from the region who would like to participate in the program. Local Economic Development Organizations and those interested in attending are encouraged to contact the Radius Indiana office to learn more about scholarship opportunities in their area.

Registration for leaders in the Radius eight-county region is $425, and $475 for those who live outside the region.
